Shows some issues with elevated pads on the snap that makes it difficult to crowd releases

Pro comp: Jaylen Watkins

Holsey and Watkins draw parallels between their size and traits that suggest Holsey could become an effective NFL corner. He’s loose and fluid with a punch that runs with a good strike zone to support his time in the slot and as a potential number three corner early, but his weaknesses suggest it may take some time to evolve into a number two corner along the perimeter.

Draft projection: 7th Round

Following Holsey’s evaluation, I gave him a fifth round grade and felt he was a developmental corner who could become a strong number two corner at the next level. With that said, two ACL tears as a defensive back is quite the red flag and his blend of average build and deficiencies will push him down the majority of draft boards. Regardless, his strengths will transfer well and his weaknesses can be further refined to become the aforementioned talented number two.
